Can I Change Photo/File Date In Photoshop Elements 2?

Whenever I change the batteries in my digital camera I have to reset the time and date.
Often I don't have time (or just forget) with the result that all the pictures have incorrect times and dates on them.
This is NOT destroying my life but it is irritating and inconvenient.
Is there a way of altering the "Date Created" without altering the photo by copying it etc. (which alters its file size)?
For that matter is it possible to alter the "Date Created" on any computer file?
I'm sure a hacker could delve deep into the heart of the Mac and do it but I am looking for something quick and simple.

You can use PhotoInfo to change the dates on a single or batch of photos. You can even do it within iPhoto by selecting PhotoInfo as the editor to use when you double click on a photo. But iPhoto won't recognize the changes unless it's exported and reimported. You can use PhotoInfo to batch check/change your photos before importing into iPhoto.
What I've done is to export the full sized images to a folder on the desktop, named the folder the same as the roll they were in, run Photoinfo on the batch and then drag the folder into the open iPhoto. Then delete the original roll. Works fine.

    How can I edit photos in iPhoto in Photoshop Elements?  I select PE in iPhoto preferences but they stay in iPhoto for editing.

    Here's something you can try with a copy of your current library.
    1 - go to iPhoto's Events preference pane and set the auto split option to 1 day per even.
    2 - go the the Events mode, select all Events.
    3 - go to the Events menu  and and select Autosplit Selected Events.
    which will give you an event for each day.
    4 - again select all events (although it might be better do to fewer at a time) and export them to your desired destination via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export  menu option with the following settings:
    The workflow above will produce a folder for each days photos with the date as the folder's title.

  • Can't open photo for editing in Photoshop Elements

    I am trying to edit a photo from my LR 5 Library in PE 11, but when I follow the normal process to do this, PE opens OK but my photo does not appear in PE at all. Is there some bug I don't know about? Or some other solution to fix this problem?

    Go to LR preferences and look under the External Editing tab to ensure you have the editor application selected. A common mistake is to choose the shortcut. If necessary click the choose button again and on Windows navigate to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11
    You need to select PhotoshopElementsEditor
    On Mac OSX you should select the application from the Support Files Folder. Click link below:

  • Photoshop Album 2.0 - Can I change Photo shooting dates

    My friend gave me Photoshop Album 2.0 to help her keep track of her pictures.  Problem is, she didnt set her camera to the right date, so some of the pictures have a "shoot" date that is not correct.  For example, the camera may have imprinted June 1, but we know because of the content of the picture that it actually was August 21.  So, can I manually correct these dates for her?
    Thanks for any help you can give me?
    I know that I can get the new trial version, but she uses the calendar version that is on the old 2.0 and wants to stick with it.

  • Can't change master file date/time

    I am unable to change the date/time of any master photos using Aperture 3.3 under OS 10.7.1 (Lion), although I can change the date/time of versions.  This is the case on both my Mac Mini and MacBook Pro.  I have the same version of Aperture on another Mac Mini running OS 10.6.8 and do not have this problem. It makes no difference if the photo is referenced or not, or whether it resides on an internal or external HD.  I have also tried running the Aperture file permission fix and library rebuild "Option-Command" startup options.  When I select "Metadata > Adjust Date and Time..." from the menu and then check the "Also change master file" box the following message appears in a pop-up window:
    Unable to adjust master file
    Aperture was not able to adjust the date and time of
    the master file “P0000001.jpg” because it has a
    format that does not permit date modification.
    This appears to be an issue with Lion.  Has anyone else had this problem?  Better yet, is there a fix?

    Hi Don
    This seems to be a problem with Lion and there is no workaround: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15769485#15769485
    We have to wait for Apple for a fix...

  • How can I get photos from iPhoto to Photoshop Elements?

    I installed Photoshop Elements 10 on my new MacBook Pro because I want to do some additional editing.  I have 800 pictures that I downloaded into iPhoto before I purchased PSE.
    How can I open the pictures in PSE?
    The instructions on the PSE website do not seem to refer to the version of iPhoto I have (the screens and menus are different.

    I used this advice and was able to open the some photos in iPhoto and edit in PSE.   I would like to save them to another file, outside iPhoto.   Is that possible?
    Sure - save As istead of save - then the edited [photo will not be in iPhoto but will be where you put it
    I would also like to open PSE and open the files from PSE, possible?
    You can - use the open command and the media browser - look in the lower left hadn corner of the open windos under media  ==> photos  ==> iPhoto - but why use iPhoto at all if you do not want your photos in iPhoto - if you do the edits this way you will not have them in iPhoto
    Perhaps I need to move the photos out of iPhoto and then open with PSE.
    Again you can do that - select the photo in iPhoto and export (file menu ==> export) and work on the exported photos - again
    but why use iPhoto at all if you do not want your photos in iPhoto - if you do the edits this way you will not have them in iPhoto
    Just now learning Mac, so I think I may still be thinking in PC.
    It is not so much Mac vs PC but database photo management vs file management - the iPhoto database structure is infinantly more powerful that an file approach like you used on a PC

  • My photo albums added to Mobile albums have all photos older then 1970 showing dates (in Photoshop elements) of 12/31/1969 6:59 PM [was: 12/31/1969]

    argggh.   Not sure if this bug is new with Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 or existed in 12 which I skipped.  My photo albums added to Mobile albums have all photos older then 1970 showing dates (in Photoshop elements) of 12/39/1969 6:59 PM.   This is a pain.  Not sure if it will scree up the date taken values which at least for now seems to be valid in the Metadata.

    Hi,
    Can you please let us know if these files were uploaded to Revel using Revel App or Elements Organizer?
    Thanks

  • HT201250 Can I restore photo files from Time Machine without the use of an external drive?  I'm trying to restore lost photo files and I see them listed in Time Machine (without use of an external drive), but when I try to restore I get a error code 36.

    Can I restore photo files from Time Machine without the use of an external drive?  While I was transferring photos back and forth from a thumb drive something went haywire and my IPhoto was wiped clean!  When I click on Time Machine I see all the dated pages (without an external storage drive connected), go back to a date where all my photo files are there, click "restore", and I get the message:  "The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in file cant be read or written (error code - 36)"

    Thanks so much Terence.  I tried some of the fixes from that page, but then discovered the suggestion to compress the Time Machine Back up of the original library and transfer it as a zip back to my computer as detailed here:
    http://pondini.org/TM/E9.html
    That worked like a charm.  I really appreciate it.

  • Can i recover photo files lost when i wiped out my hard-drive and  reinstalled mac os x?

    Can i recover photo files lost when i wiped out my hard-drive and  reinstalled mac os x?  I know that when a computer is wiped cleaned that the info is still on the hard drive, how do I access it?  Can I pay someone to access it?  Long story short, everything was saved to my external hard drive except my photos, by mistake of course.

    You have to stop using the drive immediately.  Completely stop.  Do not boot the computer from the drive.
    File recovery software: Try using an application such as Data Rescue 3 - http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php or FileSalvage - http://subrosasoft.com, or one of the ones listed in the (old) link below. Some have free trial versions that let you see if the software will help before you decide to buy. You will also need a second hard drive equal to or larger in size than your first drive as a destination drive for recovered files.
    http://data-recovery-software-review.toptenreviews.com/mac-recovery-software
    It is critical that you do not use the computer or even turn it on until you have rescued your files. Files only have the directory reference to them removed when you empty the trash or otherwise delete them from a computer (unless you use secure erase, in which case they are gone forever or can only be potentially be recovered by very expensive means) and are still present on the computer. However, their space is marked as available to any other file creation done on the computer (even done by you booting the computer) and there is risk that your files will be overwritten by the computer.
    Even if the above works, do not expect the results to be pretty or even 100% successful.  Files will often lose their names and you will have to re-name them one by one.

  • Can we change the doc date in a purchase order ?

    can we change the doc date in a purchase order ?
    i have created PO with wrong dates but now want to correct it, but its not letting me do it ...why ?

    I don't think DOC DATES can be changed. You can only change the posting dates of the Goods receipt and Invoice documents as that is what matter for your financial consolidation.

  • Can I open psd file made in photoshop cs3 with photoshop ps2?

    Can I open psd file made in photoshop cs3 with photoshop ps2? Thanks in advance!

    Actually you can open a CS3 file with smart filters in CS2
    the only problem is CS2 will not understand the Smart filter and flatten it.
    If you leave the smart filtered object alone in CS2 save the file and it should still be a smart filtered object in CS3

  • Can I change the file path that itunes reads my music files from? 65000 files trying to be transferrd from external to internal HD. I dont want itunes to manage my collection, just read it. thanks

    Can I change the file path that itunes reads my music files from?
    I have about 65000 music files that i have transferrd from my external to a new laptop internal HD.
    I have organised the folders myself as I use a PC and do not want itunes to organise the folders because when I'm searching through music on windows it is sorted out by artists/albums with 'the...(eg  The Beatles)' under 'T' instead of 'B'.
    Long story short.... Is there any way that I can keep my itunes library as it is on the external HD and copy it to the new laptops C drive, keep all the info (playlists etc) and still have the same folder structure as on the external HD?
    Or, is there any way of making windows sort things in alphabetical order like it is in itunes (eliminating the 'the' issue)?

    The files that weren't inside the media folder on the original machine need to be copied over to exactly the same paths as they had on the source machine. See this thread for an ongoing discussion of a similar problem. See also this post on migrating the iTunes library.
